5.0 out of 5 stars This Is Where Country Music Should Be., August 12, 2000

By

This review is from: Honky Tonk Reprise (Audio CD)

Here's a gem from the Bakersfield Mob that still outshines just about everybody else 13 years later. This is Rosie Flores' solo LP debut, with 6 extra tracks from the follow up that never was (for Warner, that is). Warner didn't know what to do with her in late 80's. Some things never change: The reissue is on Rounder.

If you can buy the idea that country music could (can) be progressive, this is a great example. A mix of covers and originals, all of the tracks are great. "Crying Over You" is a great opener. "Midnight To Moonlight" is thoroughly grounded in her San Antonio roots, with great accordian work from David Hidalgo (Los Lobos). "God May Forgive You (But I Won't)" absolutely aches.

If you like traditional country (or) Mandy Barnett's second record, you definitely need to check this out. While Rosie doesn't embrace the spirit of Patsy Cline to the same degree that Mandy does, they (Rosie & Mandy) are definitely two sides of the same coin.

(and rosie was one of the nicest people i ever met while i was in the biz)

5.0 out of 5 stars Real country music--not vanilla pop!, May 1, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Honky Tonk Reprise (Audio CD)

I bought this CD after hearing "God May Forgive You (but I won't)" on an off-beat country music program. Finally, I thought, real country music with the kind of lyrics that delight and amuse! The rest of the album doesn't disappoint. "Somebody Loses, Somebody Wins" is one of my favorite cuts, as is Ms. Flores' rendition of "End of the World." My brother-in-law, a country music afficionado, loves the CD, too. Check it out!

I have enjoyed listening to Rosie Flores for years. While she may not have enjoyed mainstream success, her type of music does have a following. She does great on these honky-tonk songs.
